3 live balls now where the clock has not started. Just curious as to who is supposed to start the clock? Administering official, clock operator?

Situations:

1. Ball inbounded off defenders leg, clock does not move from 9.6 seconds. Clock adjusted by officials to 9.3 seconds.

2. Ball inbounded to Miss St., catches, steps out of bounds, still 9.3 seconds.

3. Ball inbounded by Tenn., passed from A2 back to inbounder then stolen by Miss. St who then steps out of bounds, clock still at 9.3 seconds.

2009-2010 schedules for all SEC officials (except 3) just got better.

I tell ya, the lead gets a travel correctly and the trail, who had just administered the inbound, overrules him from near the division line when the contact would actually be facing the lead.

Anyway, as a Tennessee alum (grad school), it doesn't surprise me Tennessee lost. They always make bad decisions at the end of games.

Doesn't the trail have the play as it's leaving his area, headed toward the basket?

On a block/charge, sure. It was in the T's primary.

But the L definitely saw travel first and was clearly right. Both signaled. The T pretty much took over and went to the table without enough of a pause to talk to the L.

Off a throw-in, I'd say lead has a better look, given how fast everything happens.

Trail has an awfully quick transition from administering the throw-in to covering the play afterwards.

Lead, in that case, likely sees everything develop right in front of him.

And I agree with this. The perception I had was that the T was a LONG way away from this play and it was, essentially, right in the L's face.

I can't agree that the travel clearly came first. I thought it was a very difficult call with each official having an opposite angle. There was a travel but there was also a foul. Did the foul cause the travel? Very possible. Tough situation.

However, the L is the only officials who made a 5 second count while visibly swiping 4 times.

[Juulie Downs]

So the call that we're calling the "phantom foul" by Tennesee against Miss St., okay, we all agree bad call, but what specifically did he do wrong? Looked to me like center/trail made the call, right? Wasn't he just totally straight-lined? Was lead in a position to come in and give information? Should C/T have decided "I'm not sure, so I'm not going to call it..."?

And in high school, you would not take the time off either way, nor would you put it back on. I believe the rule is that the clock starts on the touch (as opposed to a legal touch), so a short amount coming off would be acceptable as it is not a timer's error.

Taking it off in high school is impossible, by rule, here because there's no way you can know to take .3 seconds off.

We've been told that on a throwinthat's kicked, time should not come off the clock, and if it did, that we're supposed to have the clock reset to what it was before the illegal touch after the throwin. We're also supposed to not chop in the clock on such a play, tough not to do, it's almost automatic.

Tonight, watching a few of my colleagues, two are NCAA Division I offcials, do a state semifinal game, a player tapped the ball on the way up on the opening jump ball. The umpire properly whistled the violation, and had the timekeeper reset the clock to 8:00, it had moved to 7:58. At first I thought, "What?", but then I realized that this was like a kicked ball on the throwin. The tap was illegal, and the clock is supposed to start on a legal tap, thus the clock gets reset .

NFHS 5-9-2: If play is started or resumed by a jump, the clock shall be started when the tossed ball is legally touched.

I don't know that that's the case. Tony Greene was the R was not a factor in any of those calls.

I noticed that too on the replay.

Also looked like the thrower asked for a TO before the last chop.

The phantom block call and the overruled travel were unfortunate.

But both teams had major brain cramps near the end as well. I'd say the winner feels pretty lucky right now.

Situations:

1. Ball inbounded off defenders leg, clock does not move from 9.6 seconds. Clock adjusted by officials to 9.3 seconds.

2. Ball inbounded to Miss St., catches, steps out of bounds, still 9.3 seconds.

3. Ball inbounded by Tenn., passed from A2 back to inbounder then stolen by Miss. St who then steps out of bounds, clock still at 9.3 seconds.

At the point where the ball was kicked on the inbound play, the officials reset the time on the clock from 9.6 to 9.3. Since the kicking violation does not constitute a legal touch, I believe that no time should have gone off the clock in that instance. Am I wrong? I refer to the case book in the attached text....

A. R. 165. After a goal by Team B, Team A has the ball for a throw-in
from the end of the playing court from where the goal was
made.
(1) B1 kicks the ball along the sideline; or
(2) B1 kicks the ball along the end line from where the throwin
was attempted.
RULING: (1) The kick is a floor violation and the ball shall be
awarded to Team A at a designated spot nearest to where the violation
occurred.
(Rule 9-6 and 7-5.1)
(2) The floor violation of kicking the ball victimizes Team A. Consequently,
Team A shall retain the privilege to the throw-in from
anywhere along the end line.
(Rule 9-6, 7-5 and 6.a.4)
In (1) and (2), the throw-in was not legally completed since the kick
is not a legal touch. As a result, the shot clock shall not start. When
this situation occurs in the remaining 59.9 seconds of the second half
or an extra period, neither the game clock nor the shot clock shall be
started because of the violation.

Maybe I am missing something, but I noticed this along with all the other violations previously mentioned in the thread and I do believe it was the referee who went to the table in this instance and reset the game clock.

By the way, before anyone gets started, I am no troll. I simply enjoy reading rather than posting most times... I akin it to sitting at the feet of learned men and women... Thanks in advance for your feedback...

I had to leave home with 1:15 on the clock, so I tuned in to the Vol Radio Network. The announcers made me think the referees were there only to cheat TN.
They were definitely hard on Sirmens (sp?). I got home and watched the replay, and it was an ugly mess. But not exactly the way the radio guys called it. Imagine that!
